talking to my sons boss knows nothing about bikes but has an srad 600 and said it was super chipped went on ebay to find what he was on about and it must be one of these
they change your air/fuel ratio etc, basic setup is altered, usually work well on standard bikes but if you have changed filters/headers etc then better to get it set up properly
this is what i didnt understand and all 600 srads are carbed mines a fuel injection 750 and the packet does say it just tricks the engine to thinking its cold and and also says the 15+bhp is the name of it not a claimed increase in power as i also said the bloke that owns the 600 srad doesnt know anything about bikes so i was curiuos as to how it could of been chipped but i think the seller saw him comming and told him a load of crap really but im still going to try it on mine its only two wires if theres no difference ill take it off again but maybe as i only uses mine for 20 mins at a time round the track it might make a difference ? or maybe it will damage the ecu? oooh now im wondering if ill bother:ermm:
Who would think that Suzuki, Honda, Kawasaki and the others, after spending £millions on development and testing at custom built factories, tracks & institutions, could have their work reliably improved with a £10 plug-in, a few cheap tools and in a rickety old garden shed??
I’m sure your pride and joy is worth more respect, mine sure is:Whistling:
Saw this guy selling a product called Active8 at a trade show which promised to dramatically reduce engine wear and improve efficiancy. Rather than question the product its easy to just use common sense… "So your telling me your product is going to improve the oil ive bought from a major manafacturer who spend thousands each year to better their product and beat competators!!!) hahaha dickhead! :D:D:D
Will be interested to hear what results you get from your chip if you use it? but if it were me I would stay clear of it! Tricking the ECU into thinking the engine is cold is bound to increase engine wear as the fuel air mix is run will be run leaner???
Personally I wouldn’t risk using this on your bike as it is not going to be anything other than a cheap resistor that tweaks the fueling by fooling the ecu into thinking the bike is cold - bit like leaving the choke on. Superchips are a well respected car tuner who made their name many years ago increasing the power outputs on turbo’d cars - like of the Escort RS Turbo’s/Renault5 Turbos/Sierra Cosworths etc. On a simple level this was by re-programming the ECU but then progressed to actualy replacing the “chip” in the ecu with one that has a custom map - hence the practice is know as chipping! They offer “generic model” maps which do not need to be customised and will suit a standard car, no different to a Power Commander map. Loads of companies out there that do the same, last few years diesel cars have been increadibly popular to chip - VW Golf TDi’s can see increases in power of 30-40% easily for the cost of £400ish!! I doubt that the chip you have has an real research other than how to over fuel the bike, really needs to be based on variables such as throttle position, air/fuel mixtures and a multiude of others. As mentioned this will definately cause you issues with higher wear as well as probably emmissions failure at MOT. Get a PC is my advice as it is the best way to tune your bike in this way.
